Sierra – 228

Designed by Maureen Clark

In celebration of the 5th annual National Crochet Month blog tour sponsored by Crochetville.com, we’ve designed a fun infinity cowl with glamping in mind.

Either option can be crafted in just a few hours ensuring that you’ll have a new accessory by the time you reach your destination!
